[issue26047] argparse.ArgumentError documentation wrong

[SilentGhost]

SilentGhost added the comment:

Christof, you'd have to demonstrate the issue in more than just words. The 
returned status code is hard-coded to be 2 in the error method and it does end 
up being 2 when i run, could you post some output that led you to believe that 
it is 1?

[issue26047] argparse.ArgumentError documentation wrong

[Christof Hanke]

New submission from Christof Hanke:

On https://docs.python.org/2/library/argparse.html (and on those of the 
3.6-Version) it says at the bottom:

"""

ArgumentParser.error(message)

This method prints a usage message including the message to the standard 
error and terminates the program with a status code of 2.
"""

In fact, the returned staus code is 1.
